The talented Edon Pinchot, who has been (in our opinion, unfairly) dubbed the ‘Jewish Justin Bieber.’This season on America’s Got Talent we saw many forms of talent. Jugglers, animal acts, comedians, magic, musicians and of course, singers. The acts included the good, the bad, and the mediocre. One particularly outstanding act was a rising star named Edon Pinchot. Edon isn’t your typical reality show contestant – he’s a 14 year old orthodox Jew.

To our knowledge, he’s the first frum yid to be featured in the million-dollar competition; and we couldn’t help but wonder how far this musical wunderkind would go. Would he be eliminated quickly because he stands out as a Jew? (The tallest grass gets mowed first, after all.) Had that happened, the show would obviously have been rigged (he was that good), and we’d stop watching. Incidentally, two of the show’s judges are members of the tribe themselves.

Young Edon has been referred to as the “Jewish Justin Bieber” which, as we’ve written before, we at the Jewish Voice take issue with since this kid can sing and Justin cannot. Edon has such a powerful voice that it moves viewers to tears at times. He can take a full dance song like Titanium (which is hard to sing in the first place) and turn it into a classical piano piece. After that, Pinchot picked a song by One Direction, which the judges thought was a step in the wrong direction. And that’s what got him eliminated.

But being eliminated doesn’t necessarily mean the end for Edon. In fact, he has his own You Tube channel with a few videos and he performs in public. Mark our words. This guy is going places and in a few years time we wouldn’t be surprised to see him going on a national tour.

He may have lost the competition, but Edon Pinchot is a winner in our book!
